Windows Users: Install Microsoft's Latest Update Immediately

Important news for all Windows PC owners: Yet another critical security flaw has been discovered in your operating system. On Monday, software giant Microsoft released an emergency patch for all currently supported versions of Windows to address a new vulnerability in Microsoft Font Driver that could potentially allow the remote execution of code.

“The vulnerability could allow remote code execution if a user opens a specially crafted document or visits an untrusted webpage that contains embedded OpenType fonts,” Microsoft explains in a Security Bulletin. A hacker could potentially use the vulnerability to take over complete control of your computer and use it to spam and infect others. Windows Vista, 7, 8, 8.1 and Windows RT are all affected by the security issue, as are computers running the Windows 10 Insider Preview.
